When it comes to making watches that combine elegance with precision, Bulova always excels and the Bulova Surveyor 98A284 is no exception. This elegant watch is a testament to Bulova's commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design. If you are looking for a watch that offers elegance and sophistication while ensuring reliability, the Surveyor 98A284 should definitely be on your radar. In this review, we will delve into the details of this great watch and find out what makes it a remarkable choice for watch lovers.

First, let's talk about the general design of the Bulova Surveyor 98A284. This watch features a round case made of stainless steel, a material known for its durability and stylish appearance. The case diameter is 42 millimeters, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a watch with a strong presence on the wrist. The thickness of the case is 11.65 millimeters, which makes for a balanced profile that is neither too thick nor too thin.

The dial of the Bulova Surveyor 98A284 really shines. Adorned with a silver plating, the dial offers a simple and classic look that is both timeless and versatile. It is protected by a crystal glass window material that not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but is also scratch-resistant, ensuring that your watch will look pristine for years to come. The analog display is clear and easy to read and the second hand as a special feature increases the functionality of the watch.

One of the outstanding features of the Bulova Surveyor 98A284 is its mechanism. This watch is powered by the Japanese Miyota Caliber 82S0 automatic movement, which is known for its accuracy and reliability. Automatic movements are highly regarded in the watch industry because they use the natural movement of the wearer's wrist to keep the watch running, eliminating the need for batteries. This makes the Bulova Surveyor 98A284 not only a beautiful accessory, but also a marvel of engineering.

The Surveyor 98A284's bracelet is made of stainless steel and features a two-tone design that combines the classic charm of silver with a touch of gold. The band is sized for regular men's wrists and is 22 millimeters wide. It ensures a comfortable fit, neither too loose nor too tight. The snap closure ensures that the watch stays securely on the wrist and can be easily removed when needed.

Although the Bulova Surveyor 98A284 lacks a calendar function, it makes up for this with its overall build quality and design aesthetic. A fixed stainless steel bezel completes the overall look of the watch and thanks to its water resistance of 30 meters, it can withstand splashes and brief submersion, but is not suitable for swimming or diving.
